Are Chameleons really easy to find in a tropical forest?
Can Chameleons change colour at will?
Are Chameleons a predator or a pray?
My Note Making:
Chameleons have special cells in their skin that help the chameleon change colour
They don't always change the colour of the environment so that means that they can sometimes change colour at will
Chameleons don't always change the colour of their environment
Chameleons don't change all colours, so they don't turn pink and polka dotted, for example....
The Chameleon colour change is similar to the changing of the sky. How: in the morning or early afternoon, the sky is blue. But, in the night, the sky is a Navy colour
The Chameleon SOMETIMES changes colour according to the weather
My Research Journal:
Thursday, April 1st 2010- http://opticsforkids.org/tutorials/chameleonschange.html was better than the other site because this site had more information that was put into more easy words that was really meant for kids. This site also had way more useful information. My research is doing fine, but I think that I could do more on my sheet, but I am doing fine.
Tuesday, April 7th 2010- I am just adding some finishing touches to my glog and I think it is really good~! It has lot's of information, pictures, etc... I am trying to put more notes, but I don't know what to write about in my notes!!!!! It's getting really hard to find more information because I've found almost all of it.
Thursday, April 8th 2010- I got lot's of good pictures on the opticsforkids website and I think that it is the best site I will find. I have finished my glog and I think that I have enough information to get me through the project. I am ahead of the class for the glog, but not for long.
Friday, April 9th 2010- I am ready to start my draft for my project and I am writing it in my L.A. workbook. I officially know that I have enough informationto write in my project and I am really confident about it. I am really glad about my topic and I am really interested in my topic of lizards. I am a bit nervouse because I know this is a big part of our Social Studies mark and I want to do really well. My research is improving by the minute. April 12th 2010- I am really angry because I need to type the info on my glog all over again~~! I HATE GLOGSTER WHEN IT DOES THAT- cassie123456789 Apr 14, 2010! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are 2 types of lizards (that I know of) that can change colour: A Chameleon and an Anole.
Chameleons and Anoles have special cells in their body that helps change the colour of their skin. An example of this kind of colour change is the sky. In the morning or early afternoon, the sky is usually light blue. But in the night, the sky is around the colour Navy.
Chameleons and Anoles do not always turn the colour of the environment.
They can change colour to be camouflaged, or to try to get a prey. They can also change colour according to their mood and sometimes the weather. They can only change colours that are necessary to change. Some of the colours they can change are: Yellow, Brown, sometimes Blue, Light Green and Dark Green. I think I think that it would be cool to be able to change colour like that~!
